Never before had a U. S. diplomatic or consular official been allowed inside one of the prisons of the U. S. S. R. Smart, the Secret Political Police, instead of taking the Charge d'Affaires to their prisoner in Bolshevism's ominous new Lubianka Prison in the heart of Moscow, carefully took him instead to a onetime Tsarist prison in the suburbs, Butyrskaya. There they found an airtight setup. U. S. Citizen Rubens, who appeared decently dressed in a zipper-closed U. S. frock, was not permitted to talk freely or be alone even for a moment with...
...smart innovation by Jury Chairman James Chapin was the grouping in separate galleries of conventional commissioned portraits and of the paintings submitted by jury members and faculty members.

Since 1935 Charles West, smart and sharp-nosed Brain Truster, has been doing odd jobs for President Roosevelt in Congressional cloakrooms. For a while he was on the payroll of the Farm Credit Administration, but for over two years he has held the title of Under Secretary of the Interior. Mr. Ickes hates to have anyone in his office who is not working for him. Mr. West has been at loggerheads with Mr. Ickes ever since...
...only for physiological but for psychological reasons. Chronic effects of oxygen-want appear only in pilots, are never seen in casual passengers. "The point at which oxygen-want should be relieved in the pilot," declared Captain Armstrong, "is the subject of heated controversy. The average pilot thinks it is smart to go to a high altitude without oxygen. Oxygen-want is like alcohol. The worse off one is, the better he feels. It is regrettable that oxygen-want is not an extremely painful process...
